Have you seen the way he smiles when he talks about the "strength of the Gazans?" (very very self-satisfied b/s)...

But it's fascinating...

yeah I watched a few minutes then switched off, all high and mighty but doesn't mention one damn minute about how they launch rockets at Israel and injure and kill Israeli citizens, I wouldn't care if he wasn't pro israel or was or pro gazan or not, but at least be objective in his reporting, he is not.

You have to keep in mind that it is propaganda.... It's not reporting...

03:32 A.M. White House releases read out of President Obama's phone calls with Netanyahu and Egyptian President Morsi. Obama and Morsi agreed on the importance of working to de-escalate the situation as quickly as possible and agreed to stay in close touch in the days ahead. Netanyahu and Obama agreed that Hamas needs to stop its attacks on Israel to allow the situation to de-escalate (Natasha Mozgovaya)

Yes, I would agree, but I am trying to downplay it right now, though it is like starting a bon fire within feet and rubbing a balloon on the hairs of your head next to a shack of oozing old dynamite with gasoline vapor permeating in the air, I selfishly want doom to be delayed a few more years. Though I am downplaying it, things are ripe for some major conflagarations.

PM me if you get any sense of doom on the hezbollah front and or Syria. Right now they are stable.

Darby - thanks for the clarification on the UNSC meeting. Was away for a couple of hours & just now catching up.

Job 12:7) But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:8) Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

Experts after action review for Day one of Israel's operation against Hamas and other terror groups in Gaza is one of initial glee. What allowed the attack to happen was the ripe moment of taking out Hamas military leadership. Once the target was identified, Israel was prepared for the consequences. One very bad terrorist down, and Israel then struck the long range missiles, and so far so good on that too. Further, Israel then began tightening a noose around Gaza before others could react. we still yet to hear from Iran, but world outcry is slim still on this move. Even in Israel, the damage and casualties have been few, one car owner is very upset and 14 others with injuries, but the population has endured over 100 missiles so far with few injuries, no death, and minimal property destruction. That in itself may forcesbHamas to up the ante on day two, or cowar back into their corner and seek an immediate truce. Israel has little to lose by continuing this operation another day or two. Take out more missiles, take out some more bad guys it is all good and part of a plan that looks good politically and appears good strategically. but that Hamas launched missiles towns Dimona has irked some leadership in the IDF. That being said, there is a push for some expeditionary forces to move into Gaza in quick lightening strike to take out some bunkers that otherwise would cause mass casualties if doen by aerial attack. This could be part of day two and because over 100 missiles have been launched, Israel now feels justified to send in ground forces if or when a target is defined. In the meantime, all eyes are on watch for Syria, Hezbollah, and Egypt to provoke a more delicate set of obstacles in the near term. We must wait and see where these obstacles may appear if at all.
